'Bachelorette' Contestant Zach J. Will Apparently 'Polarize' Fans On Tonight's Episode

From Women's Health

Everybody's favorite professional Bachelorette spoiler, Reality Steve, just teased Tuesday's episode on Twitter, leading fans to believe that contestant Zach Jackson might emerge as the newest villain, fan-favorite, or troublemaker of Clare Crawley's season.

"If you thought the first two episodes of the 'Bachelorette' brought out the extremes in opinion, just wait til tomorrow's," he tweeted on Monday, Oct. 26. "It's going to be one of the more polarizing episodes yet with some serious stances being taken by fans on the Clare/Zach J date. Get ready."

Right about now, you might be thinking, "Um... who is Zach J.?" No worries, here's everything you need to know about Clare's potential suitor:

For starters, he kept it on the DL this season.

A Bachelorette fan confirmed as much in a reply to Reality Steve, writing, "It's still so early in the season that I have no idea who Zach J is...." He replied to the tweet thread identifying himself with some funny hand-waving emojis, so at least fans know he has a sense of humor!

Still not ringing a bell? He also showed off his funny side with his limo exit during the premiere. He greeted Clare by getting down on one knee and opening a ring box, which had a mini-butt letting out a fart sound inside. Clearly, it tickled Clare's funny bone enough that she decided to keep him around.

He owns a small business.

Zach J. owns a cleaning service in St. George, Utah called Cleaning Dino, which he started about a year ago.

Zach J. also started a CBD company.

He lists himself as the founder of VidaNativ in his Instagram bio, but interestingly there's no mention of him as a founder on the company website. That section is dedicated to a woman named Taylor. However, Zach is called one of VidaNativ's "owners" in an Instagram post about him embarking on his Bachelorette journey. So, there you have it.

He has some strong opinions.

Zach J. is a "fun, outgoing and charismatic gentleman with a big personality and even bigger heart," according to his ABC bio. Apparently, he's been into Clare since Juan Pablo's season, when she told him off. Not only is Zach is an entrepreneur, but he reportedly "stays away from the clubs and bars" and wants to get married and stay together "forever."

You can probably find Zach browsing the drugstore checkout because he's "obsessed" with gum and Chapstick. Oh, and he all-caps "HATES jazz," so hopefully the Bachelorette producers have adjusted their music selections accordingly. Also, people who don't know the difference between "there," "they're" and "their" apparently "drive him crazy."

Zach J. was once a "manny."

Yep, he once nannied for a family in Yakima, Washington, and seems to have served as a mentor for the family's two boys, who are now grown up. "From 'manny' to buds...the last 20 years have really flown by and I am super grateful to have these men and the Lynch family in my life," he wrote on Instagram.

"We’ve been so blessed to have your authentic & genuine influence in our lives. So proud of you for following your heart & instincts! Love you!" Erin Lynch replied in the comments.


He's an ambassador for a local autism empowerment organization.

When he lived in Yakima, Washington, Zach J. volunteered with the Lynchpin Foundation, a "social success" organization which programs social nights for young people with autism. There are themed nights like Minecraft Society, Legos, Dungeons & Dragons, crafting, and first-aid, and activities like movie night and Guitar Hero, all staffed by volunteers and peer mentors.
